Have a look at https://stacktape.com. It removes the complexity behind AWS and allows you to deploy applications with zero DevOps. It also allows you to fully leverage your AWS free tier.

You can deploy containers, lambda functions, SQL databases, Redis, MongoDb and many more infrastructure components with just a few lines of config.

Bare metal from the likes of Hetzner for most things. Serverless for some small components which benefit from global distribution. I currently have ~30 containers running on a Hetzner server w/ 64GB of RAM and 16 dedicated cores for ~$25/mo. I even get direct access to the Intel iGPU for graphics acceleration at no additional cost. Cloud providers like AWS give you a couple orders of magnitude less resources for the…

What option is this? I see 4 core options reaching ~$20

terraform and AWS’s free tier. Only costs are route53 costs which depending on your setup you can also eliminate.

I’m usually utilizing a static site generator for main site; usually S3 behind a CDN.

Then I’ll typically have my services written in go running serverless behind apigateway. Then locally I just have my services running on a generic http framework.

Any idea what the Hetzner equivalent in the US would be?

I don't think there's an equivalent in the US but I've used OVH in their Canadian datacenters.

If I could get a dedicated server for that price in Australia I would be using that instead of a VPS for sure. Sadly I don't think that exists.

I host my side project / "e-commerce" business on a tiny $3/year VPS (found using lowendbox), it only receives bytes (119 to be exact) from the mobile app each time it's used.

Frontend is that handcrafted artisanal static HTML hosted on CloudFlare Pages, and simple button for checkout to Shopify/Stripe/whatever.

The damn licensing for publishing my iOS app costs more than my entire infrastructure. Stay lean!

Honestly, I should simply move to "serverless" ala AWS Lambda, but probably won't until (if) things go gangbusters.
